- JBJulie· July 29th, 2024I joined the Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages on July 15, 2024. I truly had the most fantastic experience and created the most wonderful memories. As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe. A huge heartfelt thank you to my guide Tew who was a friend to me for the duration of the week. Sharing all his knowledge, insight, kindness and taking the time to make my experience a great one! Thank you Tew! The trip brought me out of my comfort zone in the best possible ways. The scenery and views from the hiking journey was spectacular! I am so grateful I can say I have travelled to Thailand and grateful to of joined this tour specifically. This tour has given me the confidence and motivation to join another one in the future! From my experience on the Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages, I look forward to returning to Thailand!Show more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for your review, Julie! This sounds like an incredible trip with Tew. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the near future!Trip date: July 2024 - KMKathryn· March 11th, 2024I had an amazing time with G Adventures! The itinerary was perfect; there was a lot to do and see, but it wasn't overwhelming and there was a lot of free time provided. My guide, Prem, was one of the sweetest, loveliest people I've ever met! She is brilliant at her job, and brings so much enthusiasm to work. She is extremely knowledgeable, and was always willing to share her knowledge with the group. Miss her so much already!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your experience and photos, Kathryn! We hope to see you on another adventure soon.Trip date: February 2024

- NNiloofar· July 22nd, 2019There are a few things which were disappointing about this tour. 1. The accommodation in Bangkok was poorly chosen - location was not great, and it was a dorm- style bedding, 6 to a room based on gender, with communal outside toilets/showers. No soap was provided. Breakfast was very poor, boiled eggs and jam. 2. It was a basic style tour - again this was not communicated or made obvious prior to booking. 3. The tour guide while perfectly nice and organised, did not provide any historical / cultural briefings to places visited/ things to see. I expected to learn more from the tour guide. 4. The group members were young and lacked diversity. I had specifically enquired about this, so again this was disappointing, especially as you’re spending a lot of time together.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks for the review Niloofar, and our apologies some things didn't live up to your expectations here. We will review how we can be better.Trip date: June 2019

Trip date: June 2019 - Laura· April 16th, 2019I am so glad we had Sunni as our tour guide. He was amazing and organised the additional activities best suited for the group. He was very informative, friendly and passionate about his country. I think he had a good balance with the amount of time he spent with us and then giving us space as a group. He was always available to us (day and night). I had a fabulous time and the best group - thank you GAdventures!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHappy to hear it, thanks Laura.Trip date: April 2019

Tara
Asked on September 25th, 2024I am interested in the round trip with the visits and overnight stays in the mountain villages. I would like more information about the hikes in particular. How far do you hike in each stage? How many meters in altitude are covered? What luggage do you have to carry yourself during the hikes and what level of physical fitness do you recommend?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024
We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. You will be responsible for carrying your own luggage. Be sure to check weather conditions online before you depart. We recommend you bring sun protection cream from home to ensure it meets your needs. During the trek, you will only need to carry a daypack with your essentials. Your luggage will be stored at the start hotel in Chiang Mai and your valuables in a group safety deposit box. The physical rating is a 3 - which is 'Average'. Some tours may include light hiking, biking, rafting, or kayaking in addition to walking. The lowest rating we offer is a 2 so this is definitely fine for most healthy travellers.

Jochem
Asked on September 12th, 2024Can luggage be stored safely during a multi-day hike?

Hayley
Asked on April 9th, 2024I have a question about the northern Thailand experience in GAdventures. I saw I can book that tour through tour radar. Maybe this is too specific of a question and I want to ask this in a genuine way and with respect. I understand that Buddhism is the main religion in Thailand and part of this trip is to experience the temples. I respect their beliefs, but my concern is that I am of a different religion so I wouldn't feel comfortable performing any rituals, prayers, or anything involving that. Hopefully, that's understandable. Do you think on these trips that would ask of these things in order to pay respects to their culture? Or would it be okay for me to opt-out in certain places without being inconsiderate?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2024
You are free to sit out of any visit or activity. Your tour guide will discuss some alternative options or tell you where you can wait until the group is finished. Please speak to them with any concerns as they are local and will help you with the best way to go about this. Please note the rest of the group will go ahead with the itinerary and the guide as planned.
